The department's Sheep Industry Business Innovation (SIBI) project is offering a series of five live and interactive webinars focusing on financially intelligent business decision making for sheep within mixed farming enterprises (delivered weekly).
These webinars are to be delivered by Doug Watson, experienced independent facilitator of financial and business management training.

- make short term decisions aligned to your medium to long term goals
